Microsoft SQL Server Protocol Documents

The Microsoft SQL Server protocols documentation provides detailed technical specifications for Microsoft proprietary protocols (including extensions to industry-standard or other published protocols) that are used by Microsoft SQL Server (namely Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008) to communicate with the 2007 Microsoft Office system and with Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies (namely Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0).

The documentation includes a set of companion overview and reference documents that supplement the technical specifications with conceptual background, overviews of inter-protocol relationships and interactions, and technical reference information.

The Microsoft SQL Server protocols documentation is intended for use in conjunction with publicly available standard specifications and network programming art. It assumes that the reader either is familiar with this material or has immediate access to it.

The technical documentation provides the following levels of audience support:

  • Implementer: Sufficient conceptual and reference information for a successful implementation of one or more protocol specifications for a given task or scenario.

  • Reviewer: A definitive resource for readers who want to evaluate or understand one or more protocols.
